Quote from: Nick on May 08, 2012, 01:19:06 pmthere's only one thing i don't really get.. is there so much ASM development for the Nspire? or is it just that i don't see see it? because i haven't seen anywhere programs made in ASM for the Nspire xs therefore it seems a bit lost work to make an ASM compilerBarely anyone codes in ASM. Calc84maniac did, but almost everyone else seems to use C. In fact it was the same on 68K calcs after TIGCC arrived and since Cemetech took over PRIZM development now it seems to be the same for that platform too (when PRIZM dev started on Omni people were using ASM)

I would program much more if I could do it on-calc during boring lessons or at lunchtime. If you make this I'll definitely use it!Quote from: DJ_O on May 08, 2012, 02:29:32 pmQuote from: Nick on May 08, 2012, 01:19:06 pmthere's only one thing i don't really get.. is there so much ASM development for the Nspire? or is it just that i don't see see it? because i haven't seen anywhere programs made in ASM for the Nspire xs therefore it seems a bit lost work to make an ASM compilerBarely anyone codes in ASM.

However now that I'm writing this I remember there's a sample asm program included with ndless.

But yeah I heard ARM ASM is easier than z80.
Asm is possible on the computer too. In fact, being an assembly programmer is a rare and respected talent in the computer world, and it gives far more satisfying results in most cases. Example: ZSnes vs Snes9x. ZSnes is written in x86 assembly, and Snes9x is written in C. ZSnes gets more than 50% better performance, but Snes9x is more portable.
This is offtopic, but does someone has antoher guide for ARM assembly in english or dutch? because i don't understand french good enough to read a programming language guide in it..
